slow CPU, I don't see how you could have gotten 45-50fps on that system for most of the game, at least not without VU cycle steal set higher than you have it now... which causes all sorts of slowdowns in the game.

I don't know about the rest of you, But I picked up a copy of Both Persona 3 : FES and Persona 4 (Both very awesome games so far!) and it runs full 60fps for me through the whole way. And I am running latest plugins with the beta 1888 build of PCSX2. I couldn't be happier with the performance I am getting off my rig.
